Nancy Tyagi once again redefines global fashion at Cannes 2025 with this self designed 700 hour Seelampur made gown
Just like every year, the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, where fantasy meets fashion, is back. Providing opportunities to new faces every year and giving them a moment of limelight, this year, one name has again stood out. Even though this isn’t a debut for this Cannes attendant, she has managed to blend pure passion and high fashion. Not donning a luxe label or being supported by a fashion house, she is a self taught designer and self-proclaimed influencer who has again grabbed eyeballs by wearing her handiwork masterpiece.
The person we are talking about is none other than Nancy Tyagi. Last year, Nancy made her Cannes debut in a voluminous pink gown, earning fame and respect, not just for her look but for the story behind it. Hailing from a humble background in North East Delhi’s Seelampur, her DIY outfit became a global statement of creativity, grit, and homegrown fashion. That moment carved her space not just in the influencer community but also among fashion critics and netizens alike.
This year, she levelled up.
Nancy’s second Cannes look included a breathtaking silver dress, once again self-designed. The gown had a show-stopping plunging neckline, a corseted torso that wrapped around her body sensually, and cascades of shimmering tulle that created a figure-hugging silhouette. The skirt was embellished with delicate rose florets, and a structured headpiece added the finishing touch, making her look like a couture doll from a fairytale. What was even more breathtaking? The dress was made out of locally bought fabric from Seelampur.
She accessorised the outfit with emerald-cut earrings, silver smokey eyes, rosy cheeks, and OTT silver nail art that complemented the futuristic-glam look. Her sleek twisted bun and brown lips put the look in balance with sophistication.
As soon as Nancy’s pictures came out, Netizens and fashion critics were quick to comment. Fashion blogger Sufi Motiwala, who posted Nancy’s appearance on Instagram, called her “the doll of Cannes” and added, “She’s just having fun, and this is a gorgeous done-up outfit.” These words perfectly captured the essence of Nancy’s easy charm and artistic sense.
And as always, the web went wild with admiration.
“She looks soooo much better than last year!” posted one. “It’s OTT, it’s fashion, it’s glitzy—it’s Nancy!” raved another. From labeling her a “pro” to proclaiming “The star that she is,” netizens in unison declared Nancy Tyagi DIY couture queen—reminding us once again that authentic style isn’t sewn by labels, but by vision, love, and heaps of talent.
